Moonbeam
The future is multi-chain.
Overview
Moonbeam is an Ethereum-compatible smart contract parachain on Polkadot. Moonbeam makes it easy to build natively interoperable applications. This Ethereum compatibility allows developers to deploy existing Solidity smart contracts and DApp frontends to Moonbeam with minimal changes. As a parachain on the Polkadot network, Moonbeam benefits from the shared security of the Polkadot relay chain and integrations with other chains that are connected to Polkadot.
